I think the 256gb storage is an even bigger letdown, esp because small SSDs are slower and the swap writes will likely be focussed to a smaller area, increasing the degradation speed even further. All in all, 16gb/512 should have been the default a long time ago but why do it when you can sell it for an additional $500
